Roughly one-third of the auction’s lots have budget-friendly minimum bids of $25 or less, including a collection of Ford Dealership sales brochures from the 1960s and 1970s that’s sure to please automotive buffs — especially vintage Ford fans. In addition to catalogs that provide an overview of Ford models for 1963-66, there are separate brochures for specific models, including the Falcon (1963-1964 and 1967 model years), Fairlane (1964-65 and 1967); Mustang (1965 and 1967) and Thunderbird (1967). Minimum bid: $10.
